Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Clinical Supervision
• Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

• The nursing process is fundamental to high-quality patient care.
• Internship students may struggle with the nursing process due to limited experience and supervision.
• Clinical supervision models bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the impact of a clinical supervision model on nursing internship students' performance.
• To assess the effectiveness of the model across all five stages of the nursing process.

Main Methods:

• An experimental study involving 70 nursing internship students randomly assigned to intervention (clinical supervision model) and control (routine supervision) groups.
• The intervention was delivered over six sessions across three months.
• Data collected using a researcher-developed checklist and the Manchester questionnaire; analyzed with SPSS.

Main Results:

• No significant baseline differences between groups.
• The intervention group showed significant improvement in nursing process scores (P < 0.001).
• The clinical supervision model demonstrated high impact, with a mean Manchester questionnaire score of 136.74.

Conclusions:

• The clinical supervision model effectively enhances nursing internship students' utilization of the nursing process.
• Recommendations include using this model to improve nursing care quality and patient safety.
• Providing feedback on errors during supervision is crucial for skill development.
